Extract *.img file

[Per E. Johannessen]

Hi,

Anyone knows about a tool for extracting files from a *.img file?

[Remy]

rename the file to .iso and then, try to mount the iso file (if not compressed, it could work)

[Dave Yeo]

IIRC, DFsee can handle img files.

[Per E. Johannessen]

Unfortunately trying to mount the img results in error "Image file is not in ISO format".
DFSee seems to create *.imz files, don't know if the are the same as *.img. Don't see any option to extract files and
since DFSee is an advanced tool I don't take the risk to test things I know too little about.

[Dave Yeo]

Have you tried to unzip the img file, then mount it?

Hi

Did you try with 7z ?

7z x name.img

[Per E. Johannessen]

Thanks, I didn't even think of 7z.
IMG is not listed as supported on 7-zip.org but it did work under win10, will check OS/2 version later.

Hi

- I tried with ArcaOS Archive Tool (Zippy) and it does not open .IMG diskette images files.
- 7z x name.img worked for me in ArcaOS (FYI: yum install p7zip)
- For Windows I use WinImage (Shareware).

Img files are very hard to work with, because of multiple format.

1.  Winimage site has an extract, as freeware, go for v 2.1, it has separate DOS Win32 vers.
2.  Check the magic at the beginning the disk.
3.  OS2HDD will extract DSKF format to a directory target\lable\contents.

You should try EMT4PM as it is designed for opening disk images - it is an OS/2 program.
